Leander Paes

Leander Paes has earned sobriquets of ‘ageless’ and ‘evergreen’, which may not be wildly novel or creative but fit him to the proverbial T.

Paes, the grand old man of the doubles court, is scheduled to appear in yet another Davis Cup tennis tournament in the men's doubles format and will be gunning for a record 43 victory.

Earlier, Leander Paes made history by winning the French Open 2016 mixed doubles title with Swiss partner Martina Hingis to notch up their Career Grand Slam in the format.

The veteran star now has 18 Grand Slam trophies, the most by an Indian.
